Case Study
Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov
Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov, or HSBY, is one of Chicago’s oldest and most trusted educational institutions—but its annual fundraising dinner had gone stale.
The school’s business team needed to revitalize this critical source of revenue with fresh, emotive branding that would resonate with both parents + alumnae, and reawaken longstanding feelings of nostalgia and pride. For the second year in a row, they chose 14Minds to guide them through another successful campaign.
Why did you
choose 14 Minds?
“We approached Tzivia and her team because we didn’t feel that the previous company was creative enough or put themselves out there to fit our needs,”

The 14 Minds Solution
The 14 Minds
Solution
Powerful
event tagline + messaging
event tagline +
messaging
We chose a primary event tagline to correspond with the dinner theme of ‘gems.’ “Discover, Refine, Treasure” The tagline encapsulated the school’s goal of finding the best in every student and making sure they reach their potential
Striking
ad campaign
We went with a teal and rose-gold color palette to evoke feelings of value, refinement, and distinction. A momentum-building ad campaign captured eyes and hearts, generating event attendance that exceeded expectations.
Intriguing,
classy collateral
We used the event’s foundational branding elements to produce multiple deliverables: elegant invitations, digital assets, and event signage.
